    Because that's what I heard. It was obviously wrong, oh well, it isn't that big of a deal.

    You Cleveland fans sure are on edge. Be easy my friend.

      I was half-way hoping he left for the comedy, but now it might be fun to watch the backpedaling if he stays. I'm thinking win-win.

        I saw an article earlier that said Cleveland's Double-A team the Akron Aeros are airing it on their Jumbotron.

        That's probably what he's thinking of.

            Well, if he picks Cleveland all he's done is taken his "friends" for a ride and stabbed them in the back. Pick your poison really.

                  A lot of people are on that page, myself included.

                  Several general managers and prominent agents still expect LeBron James to remain with Cleveland, according to Brian Windhorst.

                  Word leaked just after midnight on Thursday that James was leaning towards signing with the Heat.

                  Chris Tomasson of FanHouse expressed a similar sentiment.

                  Magic GM Otis Smith still thinks James could remain with Cleveland.

                  Tomasson also spoke to an unnamed source who does not expect James to leave the Cavaliers.

                  "I think those reports are wrong,'' said the source. "LeBron is not going to schedule a one-hour television show just to say that he's sticking it to his hometown. There's no way.''

                  It's one of those things you don't mind being wrong about, because if he signs in Miami it'll be too crazy to even fathom. What kind of man would volunteer themselves to that kind of hatred from their own hometown? I mean, he's FROM Ohio, he knows how bananas they can get about sports. It's not like NYC or LA, where no matter how big and awesome the parade is, millions of people will not know or care who you are. In CLE, they will raise their children to throw food at Lebron on sight.

                    Correct me if I am wrong but can't the Heat sign Lebron and Bosh first. Then sign people to fill out the roster and then sign Wade since they have his Bird Rights and therefore go over the cap and possibly into the luxury tax?

                      Nah, Wade counts against the cap unless they release him or something like that. I think he's a "cap hold" already.

                            This dude on the radio just echoed what I've said all along. All the Cavs had to do was deal JJ Hickson to get Amare Stoudemire instead of Mr. Jamison and they wouldn't be in this position.

                              Oh ok, I was only wondering because when the Sixers signed Brand two years ago. I thought they had to sign Brand first and then sign Iguodala because if they signed Iguodala first it would put them over the cap. and therefore prevent the Brand signing.

                                So Where is Lebron Going ?

                                Jul 8th 2010 3:17PM

                                I have no idea. To his credit, this has been the best kept secret since the formula for Coca Cola. Talking to owners, GM, players, friends of Lebrons’ , no one knows.

                                So let me you give you my guess.

                                This afternoon I heard that a PR firm was telling some media outlets that Lebron was going to the Heat , but they could only be an off the record source. When I put my PR and Media hat on, that approach made no sense at all. Why would a PR firm tell them the plan and ruin the impact of a 1 hour tv special ?

                                They would if it was a misdirection.

                                Here is how I see it. Again with my media and PR hat on.

                                Lebron steps up to the podium. In every home, bar , restaurant and event in the State of Ohio, EVERYTHING comes to a complete stop. Doctors probably put a halt to the surgeries they are doing just to hear what he has to say.

                                In Miami people keep on doing what they are doing. They look at their watches and notice its past 9pm so they look for a TV or radio,, or turn on their phones and call or text their friends to see what happened with lebron. Then they go back to what they were doing.

                                At the time of the announcement , the entire state of Ohio is holding their collective breath. Waiting. Hating ESPN for dragging it out. Threatening to kill themselves if Stuart Scott offers even a single Booyah. Wondering why Michael Wilbon cant get right to it rather than talking over way too many LBJ highlights. Feeling like its been an eternity since the show started.

                                Then the announcement comes.

                                If Lebron announces Miami, all the sports media who reported the same get to write “i told you so”. The people in Miami smile. Maybe some have a cuba libre and go about their business. The phones ring and the Heat sell a bunch of tickets. Pat Riley buys some hair gel. Erik Spolestra stresses about what happens if they dont win this year. Everyone starts telling lies about how such and such player would love to play for the minimum salary to play with the Golden Triangle.

                                In the State of Ohio ? Forgetabbout it. People cry. People kick their dogs. They fall into a funk. Lebron instantly becomes the most hated person in the state, and equally hated by anyone close to people who live there.

                                Just as quickly Art Modell is placed on par with Mother Theresa when compared to Lebron. Lebron and his family will most likely have more security concerns than is imaginable. His kids going to school ? Heck, my 6 year old has gotten looks and comments when the Mavs lose… For what its worth I heard somewhere that Art Modell is still afraid to show his face in the state and Art Modell never had to face twitter, facebook and bloggers spewing worldwide hate.

                                On the flip side, If he says he is going back to the Cavs there are parties in the streets, horns honking, people kissing strangers. Art Modell sneaks into the state and gets a kiss. Everyone’s wife and husband, boyfriend and girlfriend all the sudden become prettier that night. People are pouring out in the street as if a war had ended. Instead of an infamous picture of a sailor kissing a young lady , there will be a picture of a couple, both in Lebron James Cavs jerseys kissing in the middle of the street. A photo passed through the internet as a momento of a moment in time that in the big picture means nothing, but for tonight means everything.

                                Which is exactly why I think he is going back to the Cavs. The sports world is full of uncertainties. When in doubt, go for the love. Which is what you do when you make the mistake of not coming to the Mavs
